On March 18, the Beijing-Tianjin Zhongguancun Science and Technology City Promotion Conference and Key Project Signing Ceremony were held in Tianjin. A total of 22 high-quality industrial projects were signed on-site, covering new materials, intelligent connected vehicles, low-altitude economy, and other leading industries. The first batch of application scenario demand lists for Baodi District, Tianjin, were officially released to activate innovation momentum through scenario openness. In the innovation cooperation segment, Beijing-Tianjin Zhongguancun Science and Technology City signed cooperation agreements with Beijing Zhongguancun Technology Service Co., Ltd. and Zhongguancun Technology Leasing Co., Ltd., leveraging Zhongguancun’s high-quality resources to build a more comprehensive science and technology service and financial support system for resident enterprises.

Industrial Ecosystem Attracts Companies

To deepen the coordinated development of Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei, expand the northern market, and better serve customers, Sunshine New Energy Development Co., Ltd., focusing on new energy, has set its sights on Tianjin. “We plan to invest in a semiconductor packaging base in Baodi in two phases, with an initial investment of 550 million yuan. Once operational, it is expected to achieve an annual capacity of 800 million yuan,” said Ma Haotian, General Manager of Sunshine New Energy Tianjin. The key reason for choosing Baodi is its unique geographical advantage, which will greatly facilitate serving the northern market and significantly reduce costs and increase efficiency in logistics and transportation. After both phases are completed, the annual output value could reach 1.2 billion yuan, attracting and driving upstream and downstream industry chain enterprises to develop collaboratively.

Hunan Weifu Automotive Parts Co., Ltd., with over 30 years of experience in automotive parts manufacturing, has core clients including Geely, BAIC, BYD, and other leading automakers. “Baodi is located at the geometric center of Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei, and Beijing-Tianjin Zhongguancun Science and Technology City is a high-end industrial park focusing on new energy and intelligent connected vehicles, which aligns highly with our development direction,” said Xu Yiming, General Manager of Hunan Weifu Automotive Parts. He also noted that Baodi’s unique geographical advantages, precise industrial ecosystem, and high-quality business services give the company strong confidence in establishing roots there.

Scenario Openness Activates Innovation Momentum

A good development ecosystem acts as a “strong magnetic field” for industry clustering. One of the highlights of this event was the official release of the “Baodi District Investment Promotion Scenario Opportunity List (First Batch),” to activate innovation momentum through scenario openness and promote the transformation of the science and technology city from traditional “policy giving” to “opportunity providing.”

At the event, representatives from Sany Heavy Energy, China National Machinery Group North Strength Institute, and Dichen Company introduced specific application scenarios such as industrial chain cooperation, key laboratory needs, joint innovation in major equipment reliability science and engineering laboratories, and low-altitude economy industrial park operations. These links precisely connect innovative technologies with market demands, providing a stage and market for enterprises’ technological innovation in Baodi. Through open market opportunities, they promote the transformation and landing of innovative achievements locally, achieving a dual empowerment of “technological innovation + scenario application.”

“Baodi has released the operation scenario for the Low-Altitude Economy Industrial Base in Beijing-Tianjin New City. We are highly interested. It has rare airspace resources and outstanding geographical and transportation advantages. We hope to leverage our strengths, work with Baodi, explore new scenarios and models for the low-altitude economy, and share development dividends,” said Yu Xuelian, General Manager of Hangzhou Dexu Technology Development Co., Ltd.

Clearer Development Direction for Industry

As Beijing Zhongguancun’s first major asset investment project outside Beijing, Zhongguancun Science and Technology City in Beijing has seen strong development momentum in recent years. It is understood that this year, the city will be guided by the “Baodi Beijing-Tianjin Zhongguancun Science and Technology City Construction Plan (2026–2035),” promoting industrial system integration and technological innovation collaboration between Beijing and Tianjin. The focus will be on industry-driven development, anchoring medium- and long-term goals, linking industry elements of both cities, and fostering deep integration of industry and supply chains, forming a new regional industry chain cooperation model.

Focusing on the integration of Beijing-Tianjin industry systems, Zhongguancun Science and Technology City will concentrate on “Two Parks, Two Chains, One Base,” continuously exploring new projects, and clarifying industrial directions.

For the “Two Parks” development, the city will utilize existing industrial platforms within the science and technology city to create a new materials innovation industrial park, attracting upstream and downstream enterprises. The fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) industrial park will leverage the Baodi District National Agricultural High-tech Zone, combining local resource advantages to gather well-known processed food and functional beverage projects. To strengthen the “Two Chains,” the city will focus on introducing magnetic material projects to enhance the rare earth industry chain, deepen cooperation with platforms like the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei New Energy Vehicle Cooperation Association and China Automotive Technology & Research Center, and attract automotive parts companies to strengthen the auto parts industry chain. Additionally, projects like Huanhuan Xinwang and Pengyin Data will further optimize the computing power base, attracting a cluster of upstream and downstream enterprises.

“Next, Zhongguancun Science and Technology City will continue to promote deep integration of technological and industrial innovation, advancing the level and scale of high-end equipment manufacturing, new energy materials, and new-generation information technology industry chains. We will accelerate the gathering of emerging industries such as digital economy, low-altitude economy, and intelligent connected vehicles, enabling deep integration of Beijing’s innovative resources with Baodi’s industrial space,” said Wang Hao, Vice District Mayor of Baodi and Party Secretary of Zhongguancun Science and Technology City. He also revealed that the Nankai Middle School Science and Technology City School will officially open in September this year, with increasingly complete supporting services to meet the living needs of the city’s employees.
